Brian, to answer your question - (from http://microformats.org/discuss/mail/microformats-new/2007-April/000242.html) our company was under the impression that all of this copyright and patent policy had been worked out. After speaking with our legal team, it is clear to us that is has not been. We cannot be first adopters of Microformats unless there is a clear statement on the Microformats pages stating something to the effect of: All authors provide these microformat proposals, drafts and specifications under a cc-by-1.0 or later license (or something to that effect). All authors do not claim any patent rights to concepts described in proposals, drafts and specifications. --- if you can give-us any other information, who exactly the company is, etc and any other information from the legal team we can attempt to work around these problems or debunk the FUD. -- brian suda http://suda.co.uk _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list microformats-discuss@microformats.org http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
